The art world is full of interesting characters. In so many ways, the artist‘s biography can be as important as their work. Nat Tate was an interesting character introduced to critics and tastemakers in 1998 when David Bowie hosted a dinner party to help launch a new book Nat Tate: Am American Artist 1928-1960. While the book has the sleepy title of a non-fiction book, it was actually a novel framed as a biography. Nat Tate was a tragic abstract expressionistic painter who destroyed 99% of his work before his untimely death. It was a compelling narrative of art and an artist lost to history. It was also pure fiction. While Bowie enlisted the help of a Picasso biographer to tell tales of Tate‘s interactions with Picasso, Braque and others, Nat Tate never existed. A week later, a journalist published a story of how important figures in the art world fell victim to this hoax. Oddly while Nat Tate was not real, there are real ”surviving” artworks attributed to him. In 2011, Sotheby‘s auctioned off a Nat Tate painting, Bridge No. 114, which sold for over 7000 pounds. As always you can see the work at www.WhoArtEdPodcast.com Learn more about your ad choices.

David Bowie e lo strano caso del misterioso pittore Nat Tate

Jake: Well, here we go with another totally normal, on-point, focused edition of Bowie vs. Dylan!  What do you say, Chaz? Chaz: I'd say that you've already gotten us off track by listing too many adjectives to describe how lean and mean this episode, which is live right now, is going to be.  JAKE. Jake: You're one to talk!  You could have just said "lean", it's clear, but you just HAD to stick a rhyme scheme in that makes your statement neither lean NOR mean. Chaz: Well, according to my calculations, before I even said anything, my Podcast Brevity Algorithm, PBA for short, patent pending, suggested that we were on track for a 61 minute episode, which as we've discussed at length, is unacceptable.  But now that you've RUINED EVERYTHING ALREADY, we might as well delve into as many tangents as humanly possible, I mean, it's only natural. Jake: You know, that reminds me of a time when I thought I was on a tangent, but I was actually talking about what I meant to talk about.  The year was 2009 and I had just almost murdered a...crap, I forgot to press record again, we'll have to start over, we've been talking for 90 minutes with no podcast. Chaz: I can't even look at you.  I'm blocking your FaceTime video while I start this 1998 edition of Bowie vs. Dylan. (big sigh)...Okay, ladies and gentleman, IIIIII'M Charlie, and IIIIII like- Jake: WHAT THE HECK IS THAT?!?!?!?  Chaz, turn your FaceTime back on!!! Chaz: I hate you so much!  Wait, what?  It's a topless man doing a strangely hypnotic dance full of odd moves and contortions!  Where'd he even come from?  How is he interrupting a podcast? And what's that written on his chest? Jake: Looks like...BOWIE.NET BOMB? Chaz: It's the future of the internet, on this edition of Bowie vs. Dylan.
